Episode 123 Big Projects Take Longer

This week I still haven't finished anything new but I'm working on several big projects.  I made progress on the Goldfish Memory wrap, the Copper Canyon Cardi and Aileas, the cardigan from Isabell Kraemer.

There's lots going on at the farm. Chickens have moved around and a goat is moving away.  I also planted some peppers and tomatoes.

Episode 122 Not A Lot Of Room For Brains

This week, I haven't finished anything. I have however, been working on the Goldfish Memory wrap.  I had a problem with my stitch count but I fudged my way through.  I also figured out a problem with the Copper Canyon Cardi. There was a misprint in the pattern.

Our roosters are not playing well with others. It was quite an ordeal to watch them. We are also still making plans for a trip to Iceland.  I hope to have a capsule wardrobe for the trip and keep my packing light. More room for yarn!

Episode 121 Copper Canyon Cardigan

This week, I finished my advent mini/scrap yarn shawl. I used 12 minis plus a main color. I did an icord bind off. I also cast on the Copper Canyon Cardi but had some issues with the instructions.

The farm animals are all doing fine.  We have gotten several double yoke eggs lately so there might be a particular hen that tends to lay them. A local mail thief has caused us to spend money on a lockable mailbox--grrr! I found some washable mop pads for my Swiffer Wet Jet.  I'll review them for you.

Finally, we are making plans for a family trip to Iceland in the near future.  Any travel tips?

An Excellent Sock Book

This week, I finished the Midas Hat.  I'm also still working on my advent mini shawl but it's getting close to the finish line.  I swatched for the Copper Canyon Cardi by Rachel Raimo.

I found a new sock knitting book, The Sock Knitting Bible by Lynne Rowe. Check out my review of it!

Have you tried ordering glasses online?  I have placed an order with Pair.  I'll let you know what I think once my glasses arrive.

Stay until the end for bloopers.

Advent Pattern Ideas Including Crochet

This week I finished two projects and canned a lot of applesauce.  I am starting to make knitting (and maybe crochet) plans for my advent minis. 

The hens are laying lots of eggs and I think the new cat is a Dr. Who fan.
